FASTENING DEVICE FOR HINGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 601 ,241, dated March29, 1898.

Application filed June 11, 1897. Serial No. 640,312. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER J. CON- LON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in FasteningDevices or Locks for Hinges, of which the following is a full andcomplete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art towhich it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to attachments for the hinges of window-shutters;and the object thereof is to provide the hinge of a shutter with a lockor fastening device by means of which theshutter will be securely heldin place on its hinge and cannot be blown off or removed without firstremoving the attachment or look. v

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, ofwhich the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate partsof my improvement are designated by the same numerals of reference ineach of the views, and in which Figure 1 is an inside view of 'one sideof a window-frame and of a portion of a shutter the hinge of which isprovided with my improvement, and Fig. 2 a perspective view of the hingewhich Iemploy.

In the drawings forming part of this specification I have shown at 5 oneside of a window-frame and at 6 apart of a window-shutter, and in thepractice of my invention I provide a hinge of the ordinary form, whichconsists of two'parts, one of which is adapted to be connected with theframe of the window and the other with the shutter.

That part of the hinge which is adapted to be connected with the frameof the window? consists of a plate 5, which is provided with anoutwardly-directed arm 6, and that part of the hinge which is adapted tobe connected with the shutter consists of a plate 8, which is providedwith an outwardly-directed arm 9, and the hinge-pin is secured in orformed on the cylindrical head 10 of the arm 6 in the usual manner,while the arm 9 of the plate 8 is provided with a tubular head 11,through which said hinge-pin passes.

. This hinge-pin is shown at 12 in Fig. 1, and 5o formed into a ring orhead 15, which projects over the upper end of the hinge-pin and over athe tubular head 11 on the arm 9, through which the hinge-pin passes.

The hin ge-pin may extend through the head 15 of the lock or fasteningdevice, if desired, and by means of this device the shutter will besecurely held in place and the separate parts ofthe hinge cannot beseparated, and said shutter cannot be blown off or accidentallydetached.

This device may be secured to the hinges of a gate or a door as well asto the-hinge of window-shutter, and it will thus be seen that Iaccomplish the object of my invention by means of a device which issimple in construction and operation and which is also comparativelyinexpensive.

Having fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby'Letters Patent- .,The combination with a hinge of the characterdescribed, of a spring-wire lock or fastening device 13 formed into a'coil 14:, and the upper end of which is formed into a ring or head 15,adapted to project over the head of the hinge-pin and over the tubularhead of the opposite arm of the hinge through which the said hinge-pinpasses, said spring-wire being secured at the lower end to the arm 6 ofthe stationary hinge, substantially as and forthe purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of the subscribing witnesses, this 10th day of June,1897.
